Located higher than most (if not all) lifters to minimize ground contact upon crash 1.5-2 inches above ground for easy working on the bike... so low that you can use plywood or your feet to support rear wheel (rear wheel swaps it tire change) No need to buy different attachments for your pit bull stand ($40) or pit bull stand tire wedge ($90) Designed to where the right pin wont hit the rear speed sensor Thick 6061 aluminum... solid lifters. Pic for comparison: too close to the ground = easy contact when fall = bent/destroyed
